Leandro Barbosa is not a better player than Jeff Green and anybody who suggests otherwise is being flip or doesn't know much about basketball.
In my opinion.
Agree 100% not even close...
And you guys base this on what?
Barbosa has had about 3 or 4 strong games this year and in every other game he has been pretty much invisiable.
His off / def ratings on NBA.com suggest that he has the second worst offensive rating and the second worst defensive rating on our team - but behind only Jason Collins (who has been am absolute joke on both ends).
Jeff on the other hand is getting to the point where he's probably had one strong game for every bad game - he's treading that line at about 50/50. This is not good enough for somoebody making what he is, but it's a hell of a lot better than what Barbosa has given us.
The only thing Barbosa has really done well consistently is run the offense as Rondo's backup - his assist/turnover ration is exceptional and not far off Rondo's not because he gets a ton of assiss, but because he rarely ever turns it over.
Still that certainly does not make him better than Green who has done a decent job at times (though inconsistently) with his rebounding and scoring - not so good a job on defense though...but the stats suggest he's done better than Barbosa in that area too.
